Hello, fellow gamers, and welcome to the video gamers podcast. There's nothing like the memory of that perfect game night with your friends, or maybe it's solo diving into one of the greatest games ever made. Usually those memories go hand in hand with a perfect snack and a cold, refreshing beverage. On this episode, we'll be going head to head to draft the ultimate game night. But first, some introductions are in order. I am your host Josh. And joining me, he's the guy that thinks there's nothing wrong with eating hot wings while playing his PS5.

It's Ryan. I am the opposite of that, dude. There's a rule in the house, too. You're touching food, you're not touching the controller. touching the controller. So you got to have like a wet towel or something. Oh, man. I, I know there's crazy people out there that eat hot wings while I've seen some controllers online. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Shame on you people. Yeah, absolutely. And joining us, he asked if we had a limit on how far back we could go when choosing food and games and asked if

2015 was a little too far back in history. It's ace. Now, you listen here, Sonny. that was a prime year for gaming I should have got what I should have done is leading into the old man thing and then been like 1908 Oh yeah I got a little bit further back Yeah also I was instantly Instantly disgusted by the chicken wing thing

Yeah Just the thought Oh yeah Well we're gonna we're gonna get into it boys Because we are drafting Our ultimate game night This is gonna be a ton of fun. Now, boys, what does an ultimate game night entail? Number one, you got to have

an awesome game to play. Number two, you got to have snacks, man. And number three, you got to have that beverage of choice to go along with this night. So what we are going to do is we are going to draft against each other to put together the ultimate game night and then we're going to let the listeners vote on who had the best game night. All right. It's going to be me. Ryan's pointing out of himself. We'll see. We'll see. We'll see. And so the rules of this draft are you must draft two games, two snacks, and one drink. So five items total, two games, two snacks, one drink. There is going to be some strategy that comes into play here because where do you go on your games? Do you go multiplayer? Do you go single player?

Snack wise? Do you try to wait and hope that that, you know, that awesome snack? You don't think either one of us is going to think about do you wait to draft that or do you go man I'm snatching this up but if you snatch up a snack one of your games might get taken man so I love these drafts so much man they are a ton of fun um so let's get to it boys we we we we randomize the draft order like we always do and once again I got hosed on this ace gets first pick oh I know and then it goes Ryan and then it goes me now the only advantage to going last is that i do get back to back picks so this is what we call a snake draft so it'll go ace ryan me and then the next round will go me ryan

ace rinse and repeat until we each have five things and then it's war boys bring it all uh so yeah man that's the rules i mean that's it you know uh i mean simple is the simple does don't screw this up buddy. That's all I got to say. Just don't mess this up, man. So, Ace, you got the first pick in this draft. Let's get to it because I, I, I, okay, actually, before we get to it, let me, you guys, like, I assume that in y'all's minds you have this perfect draft where you're like,

bro, if I could get these two snacks to go along with this drink and these two games, it's going to be the greatest night ever and everybody's going to vote for me. But as we all know, that will never happen. I don't know, man I think my snacks are pretty out there I don't think you're going to pick up Oh, really? Nice is like, I want balut in the

Throman Some Poutine Oh, Poutine's good Poutine's great man Poutine Don't knock it What do you, wait

Are you thinking of something different? No, I've heard some weird stuff about it Isn't it like super gravy Cheese curds and fresh fries? Yeah, Poutine is like cheese curds, fries and gravy. Yeah, man. And it's awesome.

And it's amazing, dude. It does sound actually pretty good. Yeah, it's freaking sweet. What's that stuff that's like Canadian like peanut butter or something? What? What? What? What?

What? Are you calling maple syrup? Canadian peanut butter? All of our Canadian friends that, sorry. I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm going to figure it out, though. Ryan's not drafting Poutine as in this draft now. All right, Ais.

Take it away, buddy. I am really curious what you're, uh, what's the, this is the most valuable pick in the draft, ace because you don't get to pick again for a while so whatever you take is saying like this thing's got to carry me you know what I'll start with taking one of my games because I think between the things I have on there this is probably most

likely to go first and I will be drafting Marvel rivals because dang do I enjoy a good game night of Marvel rivals with my buds. Okay that's solid. Yeah that's a solid pick. It's on my list. It wasn't like top top but that's a really good pick because

the ability to with like game nights you know doing custom matches and having that option uh is is pretty neat to that's a good one oh yeah i mean it's always enjoyable too just to get together with everybody yeah and current so yeah you know all right a starting off with marvel rivals all right ryan okay so i can i can draft from anything right now i can do snacks i can do anything okay you know your boys going snacks i'm going to go with the numero uno the best thing in this whole draft. I'm going with pizza rolls, baby.

Dang it! Pizza rolls are the number one video game snack. It's whole pizza encapsulated in this delicious little nugget and you can even eat them with chopsticks. I freaking love pizza. You don't need chopsticks. They're not messy. You can. You just pop the whole thing in there, man. I'm just saying if you're really

OCD about the germs or contaminants on your controller, that's an option. I just pick them up at the corners, you know, and boom. He's got to be careful not to melt your mouth shit. Yeah, that's how you got to do it. You got to do the bite test. You bite the corner and then you see how much steam comes out.

Oh, man. You won't be getting a callouts with a burnt mouth like, Hala, ha, la. Dude, I freaking love pizza rolls. That was my, that was going to be my first pick. And Ryan, for a second, I was like, he's going to take Doritos, man. He's going to take Doritos. And then you didn't take Doritos.

And I was like, man. All right. Well, I at least get the one thing that I wanted more than anything in this draft. And that's Mountain Dew, boys. There is no other beverage that is associated with gaming more than Mountain Dew. When you think of any sort of iconic game night, iconic list of food or drinks that goes with gaming, it is the amazing, the delicious, the energizing, refreshing Mountain Dew. It is also, I don't drink much soda, but Mountain Dew is legitimately my favorite soda.

maybe that's because I've been a lifelong gamer I don't know which came first the chicken or the egg in this game what flavor Baja Blast is the best by far dude I don't know it's Baja Blast or Code Red for me Code Red is I don't like Code Red was my like Really? I do

Code Red is so far down the list for me man Really? I don't know why That is sacrilege to be a gamer who doesn't like Code Red I get it man I get it But I am Baja Blast And then just standard old regular Mountain Dew And then you get into, like, there's the new purple kind that they've got.

And I really want to try this mango one that's only available at freaking little Caesars. Oh, it's so good. Oh, man. It looks amazing. But why little Caesars? Has we fallen this far mountain dew that you have to pick the worst piece of the place in the world? They know their market. Hey, wait a second there, buddy boy.

You're not going to besmirch little Caesars with me around. Oh, man. Ace is like, I'll have none of this. No besmirchment of the Caesar. Ace about two weeks ago was talking about. talking about how bad he wanted the nacho cheese pretzel crust little caesar's heart attack special and i was just like i i had a slice of that it's delicious but i literally felt myself dying with everybody too i've had two since then oh geez oh no just give me an iv of plastic and grease and the same thing all right so

mountain dune for me uh freaking man i wish i could have had pizza rolls ryan yeah buddy um okay and then i mentioned it because let's be honest the number one the number one chip in the world when you're gaming it's like at every party these are the ones that everybody goes for first and it's cool ranch Doritos boys that is the best flavor it's the best delicious chip it's the best Doritos flavor I will hear none of this nacho cheese nonsense cool ranch Doritos are the best Doritos out there and now I know there's somebody going like bro have you tried the salsa ones or these weird flavors that they make Doritos was doing the two flavors in one bag thing for a little, no, get out of here with all that. Cool Ranch Doritos, boys.

Dude, I don't know. The dust, though. The dust. Hey, man. Bro, that dust, unless you lick your fingers, it ain't going to get on your controller. You know, it's, it's, it then, yeah, Will, what are you talking about? No, it will not. No, it will not. Dude, bro, that's why they have pasted it to your controller with your saliva. You grab the little corner, you grab the little corner, boom. Flavor burst in your mouth. That's why, that's why, Josh would tip his keyboard over. Exactly. This is why you've got a whole bag of windows in your keyboard. That's my emergency rations, guys, okay? I'm doing this for my family.

What a guy. What a guy. All right. So that is both of mine. Ryan, we're back to you, buddy. Back to me. So this one I'm going to go with a game. I'm going to go with a game that is, you know, fun.

It's inclusive. You can have a lot of people playing. And it's just a good old fashion, 30-year-long-standing party game and parties in the name. I'm going with Mario Party Mario Party That is a good one man That's a good game night Those rounds take a while

They do usually about 45 minutes to an hour How to lose no friends 101 Right Play Mario Party with them What's the Not the best Mario Party game But you know how you can do like 2V2 It's every man for themselves

Or you do the 3V1 Which like Format of game is y'all's favorite I've always really liked the like free for all where everyone's like against running around like yeah yeah like the boxing one where everyone's just punching you know randomly all through there yeah i like i like the free for you gotta draw like a shape out and everyone's trying to do it at the same time i like that one too yeah there was the uh the one believe it or not the one that i was absolutely just baller at was

the time one where it's like you have to count down like eight seconds and stop the stopwatch like as oh yeah yeah yeah bro i don't know what it is but my brain can keep track as seconds man I have no time memory. I can't tell you what happened yesterday versus a week ago. But, dude, I can keep track of some seconds in my brain for some reason. Yeah. And I know Paul was the one with the spin the joystick around until it burns a hole in your hand. Yeah.

And you're like, oh, man. So you put the sock on your hands so that you can do it real fast. Goodness. All right, Mario, for the first game, well, not the first game off the board, but Ryan's first game. I wanted to go another snack, but I'm like, I'm going to take Mario Party real quick. I just wanted Mountain Dew. That was the, I was like, bro, if I can get Mountain Dew. do out of this draft more than anything else

like I'm good. That in pizza rolls but alas. All right ace we are back to you and you get back to back picks man man back to back picks. Well you know I'm going to have to start with my snack and one of my favorite snacks to have when I'm gaming is a nice

hot plate of tequitos. Oh that's pretty good man they're clean they're tasty they're easy to make. Easy to make now what do you dip them in? Huh? What do you dip them in? Oh you Usually, like, I have a Chipotle ranch I like to dip mine in. Yeah. So I usually, I like sour cream is good because they just kind of, I like sour, but a ranch is probably even better.

Oh, yeah, especially if you get like the shredded chicken and cheese ones. What is Ryan's like salsa, man? Yeah, salsa is messy. You talk about being messy. You want salsa dripping on you while you're trying to game? What kind of salsa do you eat? The kind in a jar that you get from the supermarket? I don't know.

What are you like? What other kind is there? And the trick with the tequitos is if you mush the end a little bit, it kind of flattens it out so that you can scoop more salsa. Ryan's making spoons out of tequitos, man. I love Mexican food. I know all the ways. He's like, let me teach you boys how to make a tequito spoon so you don't drip nothing on you. We're learning the true ways of gaming and eating.

You pop them in half so then you have the crunchy bit on the outside as your handle. Oh, man. Dude, there's a lot that goes into this. I think you guys are. You've got a process here. I was going to say, I feel like Ryan needs to teach, like, a class on this, man. The master class. Yeah.

What do I do with a chitoupa, Ryan? What's, you know. All right, A, so tequila. That's a good one. I'll be honest, man. And that was not even on my list. And I got a pretty big list because I was worried about you fools taking stuff, man. Dude, I love them.

They're so good. Oh, they're delicious, man. Yep. Not bad price-wise either. And my second thing, I wanted something salty, but I also, I love to have a sweet snack with me, so I'm going to take Oreos. I loved that. I was wondering which cookie was going to go off the... I was like,

it's going to come down to Oreos or Chips Ahoy. Yeah, I love a Chewy Chips Ahoey. Don't get me wrong. But, man, you can't be an Oreo. Because Chewy is superior to the regular crunchy Chips O'hoey. We've already established this on this podcast, too. And you made the right choice

there, Ace. All right. Oreos. All right. That's a good. So Oreos and Tequitos as Ace's two snacks, man. I love it. So good. okay Ryan we're back to you buddy back to me all right I'm gonna go with another game I'm gonna get my games out of the way because that's what we're all here for right

it's a video game party I don't know I'm kind of like I know right I'm pretty good let's see all this food talk has got me a tumbley rumbly but I am going to go with another classic but when you're feeling a little more sweaty I'm going with Halo Dang it's the ultimate multiplayer group party fun game Yep Mario party and Halo I wish I enjoyed now do it Are we gonna make run I guess

Are we going to make me be specific I'll say infinite Halo infinite Infinite yeah not three You don't want to you're gonna go all the way back to the original I mean they remade it Not the original All right

He's probably gonna go to three That three is the choice man All right but I'm not picking Halo 3 yet anyway. So I get back to back picks, but let me recap for a minute, boys. Ace, you have Marvel rivals as one of your two games. You are done with your snacks. You have tequitos and Oreos, both really good gaming picks, by the way. Ryan, you have pizza rolls, you jerk, Mario Party and Halo Infinite as your two games. And I have Mountain Dew and Cool Ranch Doritos. I'm the only one with a drinks so far so I'm curious where you guys are going to go on that I had a big list of drinks man

but I got what I wanted on that I'll tell you what we're going to take a quick break and then we'll come back with my two picks all right if you're like me and you love Rocket League then this message is for you let me introduce you to trophy AI trophy AI trophy AI is a tool that gives you real-time feedback while you play Rocket League that will adapt to your play styles it is not just generic tips.

there are a couple things where I'm like, man, I have some snacks on my list that I really want. But Ace is still in the running for a game. I don't think he will pick one of the games that I want, but I'm a little worried on the other one. So I am going to say for my ultimate game night, I want to go back in time a little bit, man. I want to recapture those college days of playing goal. Golden Eye with the boys all night long, man. I mean, I mean, look, I know there's, I know you youngsters out there going Golden Eye, what?

But my goodness, boys, was Golden Eye in its heyday the game that everybody wanted to play? And if you were at your buddies playing Golden Eye together, you were having the time of your life, man. Man, I wish they'd remake this one already, so I could not experience it. The problem is, is like, there's so many good shooters now. that I don't, I, I legitimately don't know that you could remake Golden Eye and have it be what it was, man. Oh, wow. You'd have to change the formula so much that it just wouldn't be Golden Eye anymore.

But like, you can't not make it where people can look up and down either. You know what I mean? Like, there was no up and down looking in Golden Eye. It was just side to side, man. Like, so how do you capture this like old jankiness? I don't know. I don't know how they would do that. But Golden Eye to me, like when I think about my ultimate game night, bro, Mountain Dew,

cool ranch Doritos and golden eye is like perfection to me so far do that for about a year and then perfect dark comes out and then you got superior I look I know perfect dark was a great game I am not slandering perfect dark but the the golden age of golden eye there was no golden age there was nothing else like it yeah there was nothing like it it was definitely uh ahead of its time for sure yeah I'll take your word for it yeah I know ACE is like you you old folk around here man um all right And then I'm going to take another game here because I don't want to lose out. And this is where it gets a little tough because I do have some single player games. And, you know, an ultimate game night for everybody, I mean, we're social gamers.

We love multiplayer games. But not everybody is like, I don't always want to play, you know, games with my buddies or something like that. I like that. So I'm really, really torn between two games on this one. Actually, three. so I oh man this is so tough dang it dang it

I have like four games on my list why do we limit this to two games guys you know what I mean like why did we do this? EverQuest you're going to play no oh yeah why not junkie days all right man I'm gonna go a single player game because this is a little bit of pandering to the people that don't like multiplayer.

But I'm going Red Dead Red Dead Redemption 2, boys. I am taking Red Dead 2 because... Never heard of it. I know. We chatted the other day. You might be hearing about Red Dead 2 sooner than you think, buddy. Yeah. So, you know, part of the ultimate game night thing, right,

is that you want to lose yourself for hours, right? Like, sometimes when you talk about a game night, ain't no ultimate game night lasting 40 minutes, man. Like, you want this game night to last like four, five, six hours. And you need a game to play that can just be engrossing that you can lose yourself in. I want to just ride across the plains of the Old West on my horse with the music plane in the background. Maybe I rob a train. Maybe I kidnap some passerby and take him to the swamps and feed them to the alligators.

Who knows? But I got that option. And it's quite possibly the best game ever made, especially for something like this. So I'm taking Red Dead 2 to go along with my multiplayer game. and maybe pander to the voters just a smidge. You know, people are just going to see that in there and be like, ooh. Red Dad, yeah. You know, I got the, I got the nostalgia hit for the, you know, the gamer dads.

And then I've got the newer, like, best game ever made for the newer crowd. Ooh, Mountain Dew and Red Dead? Oh, yeah, exactly. No, the good thing with Red Dead is, because, I mean, it is same as, like, GTA. It is that you can play it. serious and do missions and stuff or you could just go wild and tie people up and line them up all along the train tracks or go in and just go chaos in a town or go hunting there's so many options that also lead to laughs which even though it's a single player everybody's kind of involved which is which is cool of those types of games yeah that's a good one i mean i mean i mean you know not to harp on this too much but again an ultimate game night doesn't always mean multiplayer i mean how many nights have we have you just lost yourself in a game that you look at the clock and you're like bro how has it been four hours Like, I literally feel like I just sat down and playing this. You're eating snacks.

You're drinking your Mountain Dew. You got your Doritos. You're just like, bro, I'm living life to the fullest right now. You know? Like, this is as good as it gets, man. Man, I remember those nights. Yeah, exactly. It was like really good nights.

All right, Ryan. We're back to you, buddy. Now, you have your two games. You've got one snack. So where are you going with this next one? I am going to go with another snack, and it is in the chip form. It is not Doritos. It is far, far superior, and you can eat it with salsa if you want.

Well, I'm going with nachos, baby. Nachos. Nachos. Like a full plate of nachos. A big old plate of nachos. With all the fixings? I'll give you some more highlights in the Ryan MasterClass. With sour cream and guacamole?

If you want. In halabinoes? You can get real wild. These are your nachos. Pickled jalapenos. Absolutely. There's no other, yeah. On nachos?

So the trick is you take a dishcloth or like a kitchen rag and then you just wet the end of it. So then you can just wipe your fingers off on the wet end and then your can's good for controller or keyboard. Okay. That's a lot of effort. Nachos are one of my favorite foods. Oh, they're the best. I love nachos, like few other things in the world. And I get out of here with these individual nachos that restaurants try to serve.

view where it's like they're pre-made and they like circle around the plane bro if in a heaping mound of just sloped throwing on there and the more stuff the better dude beans corn like meat like whatever throw it on there man just pile it on yes exactly exactly now I will say on nachos chili or meat got to have meat for sure but I don't like chili I've never had chili on nachos that sounds weird like if I go to a restaurant and I'm like I legitimately have to ask them, like, is this chili or do you guys do like the shredded beef for chicken? And then they're like, it's chilly. And I'm like, nah.

No. Shredded chicken for sure, man. Yeah, you got to get some sort of shredded meat. I like beef, you know, usually typically. If I'm doing nachos, I'm going to. And then just the best, the most amazing cheese or that plastic slop that's out of a pump. Like, I don't care. I'll eat any nachos.

Well, the cheese doesn't matter as much to me, to be honest. It's just kind of like the glue that holds it all together. so that the toppings don't fall off exactly i will say man eating nachos while trying to game is like i don't know about that but that's when you like you have a respawn time and then you just like all right and you sit back and you can just munch away for a little bit and you're like oh and you put your stuff down to get back to it because you get that one nacho that don't want to let go of the other four nachos around it to where you're like is this going to fall is it going to break and then you start to eat it and it all just falls on you and you're like oh man so

And that is how you spend three minutes on nachos. Yes, that's true. Yeah, you can tell we're hungry doing this episode. All right, nachos, great pick, man. It wasn't on my list because I was like, it's too messy. I would never have thought to bring nachos to a game night. Yeah. Okay.

Ace, these are your last two, buddy. You get back to backs on this one. Back to back. And then you're done. Game-wise, I've already picked a multiplayer game with, you know, lots of camaraderie and teammates. But maybe I want a game that I could play single player or I could just bunch up with my two closest buds.

And I'm thinking, why don't, why don't I play Remnant 2 tonight? Oh, you panderer! I'm a for Ace. Ace wins the drive. Yay! I thought I was pandering with Red Dead 2 and Ace is going to pull out Remnant 2? It's both, man. It's the best of both.

You could play a single player or with friends and you get the same experience. Bro, you were preaching to the choir. Preach it some more, buddy. I love Remnant 2. Buy all it's DLC, so we get Remnant 3. Oh, man. Good pick. That was a good one.

Okay. I legitimately had Remnant 2 on my list. Because to me, this is absolutely the best game night. Like, with my buds playing Remnant 2. But then I was like, people are sick of hearing me talking about Remnant 2. Nobody's going to vote for me if it's on my list. They're just going to be like, yeah, whatever, Josh. So it makes me so happy that Ace is like, yeah.

Yeah, let's do it. How much did he pay you? How much city pay you guys? I did. I'll send that to your cash app. Yeah. Let's give a second. It is the perfect game, man.

Solo play? Works great. Yeah. Play with friends? It works even better. Even better. It's great. It'd love it.

It's so good. One day. I need to make Ryan play this because Ryan is going to lose his mind, dude. Probably will. Ryan, like, I am so confident that you will absolutely love Remnant 2 when you play it, that I will be willing to bet a lot. Well, we got some dead time this summer, I think. Yeah, yeah, maybe.

We'll see. Especially after how you reacted to Night Rain, you're going to love Remnant 2. That's my guarantee. Bro, listen, for all the people out there, Remnant 2 blows Night Rain out of the water, in my opinion. I'm not slandering in Night Rain because Night Rain is great, and I love Eldon Ring, but if you're talking about a game that is, like, just pure fun with your buddies

and masterfully done, Remnant 2 is it. all right yeah well i guess pick ace oh my goodness i love your draft buddy you have the best draft right now thank you thank you i know applaud to me more but uh i guess all i got left now is my drink and drink you definitely took the 101 for me i just didn't think anyone would think about it because i know neither you really drink that much soda so i was like oh very one soda i do drink is mountain dew buddy yeah i was like oh maybe it's safe but now nope so i guess the thing I'd do second after a Mountain Dew would be a monster. Having a monster would be perfect to make it, especially because I have trouble staying up now nowadays to play games.

Yeah, that's what happens with old age. A. C. Stryken tired earlier. So yeah, Monster's a good pick. It actually was on my list. If I didn't get Mountain Dew, I had one other one that might be ahead of a monster, but then I don't drink energy drinks anymore, man. I got a few more years of it. Yeah, you have a few years where you're going to like, you can just enjoy. enjoy it and then drink it down like hey maybe i should stop this oh oh i felt that one maybe i'm done four was too many today do not drink four oh my goodness man oh is not good for your heart no ace's is draft is it done ace i don't i don't want to say anything buddy but we might need to talk about your your healthy choices when it comes to i mean you have tequitos oreo and a monster

buddy i got five more years for that catches up with me You should be eating apple slices or anything, but, you know, this may not be the best. Have you ever heard of water? Yeah. So, fun fact. No. I knew a guy that I worked with that never, never drank water. I have such a hard time remembering to drink water.

It's a pain. All he would drink is like Gatorade and like soda. This is green tea. And a year and a half, I never saw him drink one sip of water. A year and a half? 98% of what I drink is. I'd worked with him five days a week. Oh my gosh

That's crazy That's nuts I have the occasional Mountain Dew like on the weekend Like in the morning I might have a cup of coffee And then maybe an hour or two later I'll have like a can of Mountain Dew

But otherwise I legitimately Just drink nothing but water Dude yeah That's how I am I always got some Kidney stones for sure Is it because we live in the desert maybe Ryan?

Are we just like thirsty For like life saving fluids? The other day I had finished A gallon and a half of water By like three in the afternoon Gal and a half Well Ryan works outside And it's 113 out today.

Okay, that's fair. I'm just thinking, man, I'd be running to the bathroom like every four seconds. No, you don't go to the bathroom either. He just let it out, dude. Oh, man. All right, Aces draft is done. Ryan, this is your last pick, buddy. Okay, so I got a question here.

You picked Mountain Dew with this, but then you picked Doritos cool ranch. So are we doing specifics? Yes, if you want to be lame, you could pick nacho cheese Doritos, Ryan. Well, no, I wouldn't want to do it. that i was i was debating on doing code red because that was that was on mine but you just kind of picked mountain dew yeah but i really screwed the pooch huh i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna do my my uh my past love my uh my former addiction and i'm gonna go with red bull i would like to say i'm about no ryan you've quit i'm about three weeks clean i had one red bull before uh fan fusion and

that's the only one in like three weeks i'm three weeks clean but, you know, just regular. Straight up, sugary, regular. Just standard. Lightly carbonated, fresh. Oh, it's so good. Give me wings, baby. I miss it.

I mean, that's what it'll do eventually is give you wings. Yeah, well. You have your wings, right? Yeah, no, it was not good. I definitely, I was drinking two 12s a day. Oh, wow. Yeah. No.

No more. All right. Red Bull for Ryan's drink. All right. But it's good for game night. Good for game party. You know what's funny is like, okay, we have Monster Red Bull of Mountain Dew. Like we apparently really, really like our energy.

Caffeine, baby. When it comes to gaming, man. Oh, man. All right, boys. I'm the last pick, man. This is it. This is going to end the draft here. And I have to pick another snack.

Boy, what a tough one, man. I'm just going to throw out some honorable mentions on this because there's so many good snacks. Number one, chicken nuggies, dude. Oh, my goodness. You can eat chicken nuggets while you're gaming. That ain't no thing. And it's got to be the dinosaur ones because let's be the rest of the kids. No, no, no.

I at least get some decent nuggets. Yeah, get the Purdue, like, tempura battered ones at least. Oh, you bougie. Like, bro, if I'm just throwing some Tyson chicken nuggets in the air cooker, man. Mm, chicken product. Who can I get some beer battered tempura nuggets? You know, with all the veins and saline solution. Yeah, exactly.

This was a chicken once. That's not my. pick though i'm just saying that's on my list parts of this were chicken if we're going if we're going old school bro combos combos were the jam back in the day yeah um but i need something sweet man i can't i can't just do salty i'm not ryan and so i need something that i can just pop in my mouth that has a ton of flavor i'm going sour patch kids as my other snack man more dust a little bit of sweet a little bit of sour oh it's gonna be so good they don't get on your hands either so they're pretty clean to eat but that way i can i can have a little bit of sugar

yellow sour patch useless by the way oh what's that yellow yellow one yeah just lemon is there a is there a hierarchy to sour patch kick out yeah the red is the best one blue and red you guys each set of different i don't taste the same to me they're just sweet and sour that's all that matters they're totally different really yeah they're different flavors they're different fruits maybe i like them all I'm an equal sour patch lover, apparently. Checks mix was my second, because, bro, a really good checks mix, like the muddy-buddy ones where it's like the chocolate and like,

oh, man, but those can be a little messy. But checks mix was like the underdog pick where I was like, this is delicious to snack on. But I don't know that people are going to like, you know. Checks mix is only a snack when there's no other snacks. Dude, I don't know about that, man. Yeah, I was going to say, you haven't had good checks mix then if you're saying that like we ain't talking just the plain

flavor yes exactly you get the little sticks the little bagel chips like the seasonings they got the garlic salt on there oh so good man man i haven't eaten yet i know right all right boys okay so let's uh let's review here real quick all right so the teams are my team is my two games golden eye and red dead redemption two my two snacks are are Sour Patch Kids and Cool Ranch Doritos, and my drink is Mountain Dew. I am enjoying, I am loving this game night, boys. I am not going to lie. I'm loving this game night.

All right, Ryan's team, his two games are Mario Party, and we're just going to call it Halo, Ryan, not to lock you in there. I was just trying to. And Halo, his two snacks are, dang it, man. These are good snacks. I think this is what's carrying your team, man. Are nachos and pizza rolls, two of my friends. favorite foods in the world.

Oh, man. And then his drink is Red Bull. That's probably the weakest one in my opinion. Not to slander. Dude, there's so many better tasting. We have Monster in here. I know Monster at least tastes good, though, man. Red Bull tastes terrible, dude.

Are you kidding me? Red Bull. I'm not trying to slander your team, but Red Bull is the worst tasting energy drink in existence. You're insane. Monsters taste like the soda machine where there's like no carbonation. They're just syrup garbage. What are you talking? talking about. I forgot you don't like flavor and sugar.

Noss is better than both. What's that? Noss is better than both of them. I've never had a Noss. Oh, dude. I don't know. All right. And then Ace's team.

His two games are Marvel rivals and man, the pick of the draft. Remnant two. Oh, the winner. To play with friends. His snacks are tequitos and Oreos. Tequitos is not something I thought about at all. So I actually like that pick. Oh, that's a good one.

And then Ace's pick is the far superior tasting, monster energy drinks compared to Red Bull that's it guys we're going to let the listeners decide on this draft so we'll post a poll in the episode description
